| 9786 | I am a little confused about the variables in functions and how functions work in general. | ||
| 9787 | What are some other examples of bad form? | ||
| 9790 | I'm not sure I understand the "accumulator". What exactly do you use this for? Is it simply to count how many times the function has been looped through? | ||
| 9792 | It is bad form to access a global variable from a function. Are there other important examples of bad form? | ||
| 9793 | What is the purpose of the docstring? Do you have to enter one when you create a function or can you leave it out? | ||
| 9794 | What is the purpose of the docstring? | ||
| 9795 | What is a docstring? | ||
| 9796 | When defining a function(i.e. def drawSquare (t, sz)), are the variables in the parenthesis just place holders until they are defined later within the program? | ||
| 9797 | Why would a function that does not return a value be useful? | ||
| 9798 | How can we use the turtle function for other disciplines? What are the functions of the program? | ||
| 9799 | Do you have to load the math module for Fuctions? | ||
| 9802 | Is it better to use many small functions or few larger functions in a large program? | ||
| 9810 | What does "return a value" actually means? | ||
| 9821 | Could you explain docstrings a little more/give an example? | ||
| 9822 | Why are docstrings important? | ||
| 9827 | Does set world coordinates help to set where you want to start your turtle? I am a little confused about this concept. | ||
| 9829 | Can functions be used to define other functions, not just call them? | ||
| 9830 | Can functions be used to define other functions, not just call them? | ||
| 9833 | How is a function in Computer Science different from a function in traditional math? | ||
| 9839 | Could you please explain the flow of execution and how to determine this? | ||
| 9840 | Are there uses of functions other than math and turtle? | ||
| 9845 | Do the parameters have to be specific letters/words? Also, how do you know when you need more than two parameters? | ||
| 9849 | What is the programming behind functions? Is it more high level or low level language? |
